For menopause, hormones, weight and metabolism. Your physician knows your medical history and any existing results before the appointment, so you can look ahead together.

See all symptomsFrom your medical consultation to a plan you can follow
Everything begins with your medical consultation: your physician works out what has changed, and suggests tests only where they will actually shape what happens next.
You pick your slot online. You fill in the medical history questionnaire in your own time, then meet your physician 1:1 by video. She places what you are experiencing in context and tells you what she recommends.
Only where it settles something for your treatment plan. Recent results you already have are taken into account.
You go through your results in a video consultation of its own, and leave with a treatment plan written for you.
If treatment is indicated, your doctor stays with you: regular reviews, and adjustments when your treatment needs them.
“Too many women over 38 are not taken seriously when they describe how their body has changed. I founded gynxtra because I believe a medically grounded answer is both possible and necessary.”
Midlife is a medical subject. We treat it like one.
Whether treatment is the right step is decided after your medical consultation, not before it. If it is, you get a therapy chosen for you and regular reviews with your doctor.
Hormone therapy and balance
For women in perimenopause or menopause who want their hormones looked after by a doctor.
Medical weight management
For women in midlife who are putting on weight, notice their appetite has changed, or whose metabolism is behaving differently.
Your care continues between appointments.
Once you are in ongoing care, your treatment plan, your appointments and your results sit together in the patient area. It is also where you can ask your medical team a question.
Your medical consultation
Your consultation is there to make your next medical step clear. Where it is indicated, targeted diagnostics fill in what a conversation cannot. And once treatment begins, a doctor stays with it.
Preparation in your patient area, a review by your physician before the appointment. Around 50 minutes of her time, 30 of them in a video call. Written assessment and treatment recommendation, which may include medication.
A review with your doctor every month. This is the cadence for stretches where the dose is still being found, or where how well the treatment works and how well you tolerate it needs watching closely. You can stop at any time, and the month you have already paid for simply runs to its end.
A review with your doctor every three months, once your treatment has settled. You pay for the three months up front. You can stop at any time, and the quarter you have already paid for runs to its end.
Where medically indicated: targeted diagnostics. Your doctor goes through the scope and the cost with you first.
Included either way
If your body has changed, your next step should feel clear.
In your medical consultation, your physician already knows your medical history and any existing results before you speak. You use the 30-minute video call to look ahead, and afterwards you receive your assessment and treatment recommendation in writing.
Your questions, answered.
The questions that come up most often before the medical consultation. Anything beyond these, you can put to your physician directly.
All questions and answersWho is gynxtra for?
gynxtra is for women between 38 and 65 living with perimenopausal or menopausal symptoms: broken sleep, hot flushes, weight gain, brain fog.
What exactly happens in the medical consultation?
Beforehand you fill in a medical history questionnaire at your own pace and upload any prior findings to your patient area. Your physician reviews everything before the call. You use the one-to-one video consultation to look ahead. Your physician puts your situation into context and talks you through sensible next steps: whether diagnostics would clarify anything, and whether a treatment could be an option. Nothing is prescribed without her medical judgement. After the consultation you receive your assessment and recommendation in writing in your patient area.
Will my health insurance cover this?
gynxtra services are self-pay services. gynxtra does not bill health insurers, and reimbursement through basic insurance is not available. Medication prescribed by your physician is also self-pay. The prices for the medical consultation and ongoing care are fixed in advance. Your physician tells you about any further cost before you decide.
When are diagnostics worth doing?
When further assessment would help, your doctor recommends targeted diagnostics. Recent results you already have are taken into account.
Will I automatically be prescribed hormones after the medical consultation?
No, nothing is automatic. Your doctor recommends a therapy only where it is medically indicated. For some patients, changes to lifestyle or other measures are the better answer. Your health and your safety come first.
What if I am already on hormones?
The medical consultation is also the right place to review an existing hormone therapy and refine it. Please note in the questionnaire which preparations you are currently taking.
Is medication included in the price?
No. Medication, and any further laboratory work, is billed separately. Neither is part of the price of your care.
